“Isso não pode ser normal”: a vida em favela sob o olhar de um corpo em desalinho

Abstract

This current work stems from the concern about the way to look at the slum as a danger and an unable place. The references that support this research take me to meet between the slum and my misaligned body defined as a disabled body. In the analysis that was built, I highlight the prejudices and racism processes, subjectively produced, that are segregating, excluding, and killing people and their potentials. After, I problematize how this subjectivation of the different, associated with the biopolitical control techniques, built the stereotype of unable, of the dangerous, the enemy and of the killable. Thus, I begin the discussion by looking at the abnormality tripod that forms me: a disabled, northeastern, and a person who work and study in the slum. These three plateaus pass through like the rhizome by the racism, apathy and prejudices process, conducting the discussion about the construction of the subject who lives in the slum as a person who represents a danger to the security of society. It bringing the proposed concept by Michel Foucault and Achille Mbembe, I put in analysis the form how it has been built the society's enemies on the history and how this people will be criminalized and considered dreaded people. Then, I show how some events could be used to analyze the governmentality's act, the violence of the political state, the normalization and implementation of racist and segregationist politics. After, I support on the everyday scenes of Rio de Janeiro city, I ask about the militar's operations by the State on the slum's territory and its effects as part of a protection speech. Finally, I also debate the effects of insurgencies situations stem from the analysis of some community mobilization experience by the people who live in slum's territory and represent the fight for this people survive the violence and keep alive their potentials.
